Looking for a companion for my dog

0 I noticed that you sad, "He is a very playful, extremely affectionate and clingy dog."
Plus he is 3, so that also explains why he's 'clingy!'
Rather than buy another dog... why don't you save your $s and Hire A Leg and Foot?
COOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL That Didn't Take Long
Even Better... I Caught an Aussi Yahhooo!!!
A leg and a foot for a very playful, extremely affectionate and clingy dog? Ummmm... If I said... "Shake a Leg!!!" Would that Help?
Did you know that the Biggest Complaint that Posties had was that affectionate, clingy dogs used to bunt their legs and feet?

LOL! Very good, Pearldiver! You did not get THIS Aussie, though. I knew exactly what you were getting at
That may have been a problem if I was not a responsible pet owner, and had Rusty snipped and chipped.
Rusty was abused and dumped by his previous owner, so I cannot go out to the toilet without being followed. If I shut the door while I am out there, he sits outside the toilet whining until I open it again.
He knows I am talking about him, and has just come into the study and jumped on me.
Okay, okay, I will tell them! Rusty says to say hello to you!
Hi WryLit.
Rusty has a bit of Kelpie in him, but the Lab is stronger. The Kelpie means he always wants to round things up, and the Lab means big feet and a lot of chewing and digging which he has finally grown out of.
I told him about your offer, and he started wagging his tail. Maybe I will leave you guardianship of him in my will
A word of warning though... he does not like men (apart from my partner), so if there is a Mr WryLit you could have a problem.
He's a Beauty and he's insecure if that's the case.
The problem with another dog will be transferring his dependence on you, who he sees as the boss of his 'pack.'
You have to build his confidence - just like with people.
Have you just considered a dog handling/obedience class?
They love that because it helps them build their confidence and you notice the change in their nature really quickly.
They mix with other dogs and get to skite about their owners!
